The March 2024 release (version 24.3) includes per-character styling for Text layers, important fixes, and more.
Access and manipulate individual characters within a text layer using scripting with new additions to the TextDocument DOM.
- The properties of individual characters can now be changed independently of the others with the new CharacterRange and ParagraphRange objects.
- The new paragraphCount attribute will return the number of paragraphs in the TextDocument.
- The new paragraphCharacterIndexesAt method will return the paragraph bounds from a character index—useful if you have a character index and wonder what the character index bounds of the paragraph it's part of.
- It's now possible to faithfully round trip a mixed-property Text layer via the TextDocument without losing individual properties.
- boxTextPos will now accept negative values.
